REDUCE TAXATION.

Exc -eongressman Kasson, Of lows
recently gave western view Of tht
tariff and declared for a 'limitatior
"upon commerce, ":Sand said "the West
desires complete national independ
"ence."
This is the old idea of the Chinese
wall. Complete national independence
means neither buying nor selling in
foreign countries. How would the
Western farmers thrive if the Old
World did not buy yearly $150,OOOOOC
of their surplus productions Of bread
stuffs and $1OOOO0OOO of other surplus
provisions What would the South do
without a foreign market for its cotton
How would the Pennsylvania oil-pro-
ducers like to lose their annual sales
abroad of $5O,OOO,OOo2
The total value of our exports last
year was over $75o,OoO,OOO. "Complete
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS" would have cut
off this handsome sum.
Trade is reciprocal and works both
ways. No nation will sell if it does not
buy-at least sell what can be obtained
elsewhere. ;
Is it not time our war taxes were cut
down? Is it not time the issue were
squarely made and pressed on the at
tention of the people?
The great question of over and un-
equal taxation should be made the
issue. Let the Democrats in Congress
come together and demand tax reduc-
tion, and so compel the Republicans to
show their hands.
1t is time superhuous war taxes had
gone, and the surplus of ten millions a
month were stopped.

TARIFF REVISION.

r The Philadelphia Times is stong pro-
lection and believes that inequalities of
a serious nature exist in the present
tariff, and says: y
The Presidents Forthcoming message
is certain to be very emphatic and alb
solutely unanswerable in the demand
for revenue reduction. The argument
In it's favor is twofold-fr the indus
tries of the country are wantonly taxed
not less than $8O,OO0,OO0:. and, second,
the boarding of hundreds of millions in
the treasury must, sooner or later, and
soon at the latest, precipitate panic and
general businessreyulsion and paralysis.
With this executive demand will doubt
less come an equally emphatic demand
for tariff revision ON the basis of pro-
tecting the labor of the country. / be-
lieve that the basis of tariff revision
and revenue reduction to be recom-
1nended by the President will be ac-
cepted in good faith by Speaker Car
Isle, and the agreement of hitherto
disputing factions win thus be attained
as to the basis Of revenue reform, leav-
ing only details TO be adjusted. Tariff

REPUBLICANS are epdeavoring to ex-
tract consolation from Mahones fig
uring that the popular vote at the cleo
ton in Virginia showed a plurality for
the Republicans. This is explained by
the fact that Malone got out his black
vote very generally throughout the
State, while the Democrats, in a great
number of their strong legislative dis
tricts, had no opposition and made no
attempt to get out their full vote. Nor
did they in the black belt counties,
where the Republican majority is very
large. Their efforts were concentrated
in the doubtful senatorial and repre-
sentative districts, and in these they
made gains, securing the legislature by
nearly two-thirds majority. On the
popular vote next year Virginia will be
as certainly Democratic as It was at the
recent election of members of the legis-
lature.

For years the Republican party was
in full power in every department of
the general government, and made no
attempt to reform matters.
This same party blames the Cleve-
land administration for not reforming
Republican modes and policy Thus
does this party admit its own shame of
public policy.
In their last National platform they
admit their own case away, saying
"The Republican party pledges itself to
correct the inequalities of the tariff,
"and to reduce the surplus"
The Republican party made the tariff
and its inequalities" and the tariff ini-
quity that robs the people and makes
q surplus.

THE DECENT THING.

|
| We submit if it would not have been
the decent thing to have continued the
retiring County Commissioner and In
Urinary Director for the extra month
that their respective places had to be
filled by appointments
Indeed, why can't we have more de-
cency in our politicss Less downright
meanness and falsity, to say nothing Of
common courtesy 2..-......s................ ~.
The retiring County Commissioner is
a Democrat, and the Director is a Re.
publican; Mr.. Schmachtenberger, the
former, and Putnam the latter. is
AS already stated, the officials to ap-
point the Commissioner are the Probate
Judge, Auditor and Recorder, a major
ity Republicans. And it would have
been so decent a thing for them to have
continued so good and worthy citizen
as Jacob Schmachtenberger, a Demo
crat, an extra month as County Com
missioner.
And then too, Mr.. Fawcett and Re-
corder Daugherty may thank generous
Democrats, perhaps over generous, for
their election to their county positions.
Is it so, that, with them no Democrats
't'F ~
need apply? q
The Probate Judge being the first
named should have acted as conyener
and hence should have called confer
ence. AT least this is usual, and proper.
But we understand this decent thing
was not done, the Auditor only being
given the privilege to sign the paper
appointing Wearstler.
The body to appoint the 1nfrmary
Director was the County Commission
ers, a majority Democrats, for Mr..
Schmachtenberger's term is not out.
Of course when Messrs. Fawcett and
Daugherty acted with such partisan
haste, and appointed Mr.. Wearstler, the
Commissioners appointed Mr.. Stoner to
serve as Director. So it was tit for tat.
The DEMOCRAT is well assured, that,
but for the unseemly action of Messrs.
Fawcett and Daugherty, Mr.. Putnam
would have been continued the extra
month as Director.
Now, contrast this conduct with the
course of the Cleveland administration
in continuing Republicans in position.
No Republican administration ever ex-
hibited such generosity; not even
toward previous Republican admins
tration.
Possibly, some may regard this whole
thing as no great affair, and perhaps it
is not, but little things make up our
fieeting human existence; and surely
this is one that may point moral, 70
Democrats at least.

$500 Reward.

SENATOR SHERMAN is quoted as
saying: 81 have a simple platform;
First the protection of American in
dustries, and second the count of the
vote fairly as cast in the Southern
States. For one / would now join in a
general defamation of the Southern
section. 1 am willing to forget the war
and forgive those who participated in
it but the time has not come in my
judgment, to protect the cQlored men
of the South in their political rights; to
have their votes fairly counted and de-
liyered,"

On one thing Democrats and Repub-
licans, Free Traders and Protectionists,
Labor men and Prohibitionists ought
to be agreed: The revenues of the
Government should be limited to its
actual needs. 4
The Government has no right to col
lect $1O9,OOO,OOO as it did last year, or
S140OOOOO0 as it will do this year, be-
yond its necessities.
Unnecessary taxation is unjust tax
alton" A Treasury surplus is the pa

THE vote in Dakota on the question
of dividing the territory shows a ma
jority of only 1900 in favor of division
in total vote of 10000. 1t may occur
to Congress that this majority is too
small to warrant the division of the
territory. Still Dakota should be diVid-
ed before coming into the union as a
State. Dakota is too big for one State
and might well be made into three.

THE Philadelphia Times says Ac-
cording to John Sherman, the colored
voter has no right not to vote, and there
should be Federal boards created to

he might have cast if he had wanted to
but didn't. John is great, broad,
long-headed and warm hearted states

JOHN SHERMAN & Cos demand is
behind the times in asking the general
government to interfere in elections in

For years after the war these men

by fraudulent manipulation they
counted in R. B. Hayes, who was not
elected President.
John Sherman & Co. would no doubt
like the opportunity to play fraud again.
